THE POWER OF LIFELONG LEARNING
Lifelong learning is the ongoing process of acquiring new knowledge and skills throughout a person’s life. Lifelong learners carry on their learning and personal development long after they have completed their formal education. In today’s world, lifelong learning is more important than ever.
The importance of lifelong learning in the modern world is enormous. Today’s job market is dynamic and fast-paced, so skills become outdated quickly. It is considered that lifelong learning enhances the development of important skills and can help individuals to improve hard skills like language and soft skills, such as empathy. This makes them significantly adaptable to the needs of modern workplaces.
In addition, lifelong learning has significant benefits outside of the workplace. It can enable individuals to achieve personal fulfilment and satisfaction by allowing them to pursue their passions. It can also improve brain function and broaden their horizons by making them more open-minded. By continually learning and growing, they can develop their critical thinking skills and gain new insights into the world.
Thanks to the Internet and digital media, engaging in lifelong learning has never been easier with online courses, webinars, and workshops available on all kinds of topics. Many of the world’s best educational institutions, such as Harvard, MIT, and Stanford, also offer a variety of online courses, providing access to high-quality education to people around the world. Online resources allow learners to acquire knowledge at their own pace, at a time and at a place that suits them.
In an ever-changing modern world, continuous personal development has become a crucial part of life. For lifelong learners, learning is not only a process but also a lifestyle choice. By committing to this approach, we can stay relevant in the workforce, follow our passions, and improve the overall quality of our lives.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 28 to 35.
In many European cultures, names are typically chosen by parents. Parents’ choice for their child’s name may be based on names of relatives or ancestors within their particular family.
For example, in Italy, children are traditionally named after their grandparents. The parents generally use the father’s parents’ names first. If they have more children, then they will use the mother’s parents’ names. Similarly, some people in Eastern Europe name their children after relatives who have died. This tradition is seen as a means to protect the child from the Angel of Death.
Traditionally in some Asian countries, a child’s grandfather or a fortune-teller chooses the child’s name. In contrast to the tradition of naming children after relatives, the child’s name is chosen to influence the child’s character. For example, names may be based on a connection to certain elements such as fire, water, earth, wood, or metal. Or the name might include a written character meaning beauty, strength, or kindness.
In certain African cultures, when a child is born plays a large part in determining the child’s name. In Ghana’s Akan culture, the day a child is born determines the child’s name. But each day has different names for boys and girls. For instance, a boy born on Friday is named Kofi, whereas a girl born on the same day is named Afua. Both Kofi and Afua are names meaning “wanderer” or “explorer.” Children with these names are seen as travelers.
No matter where the name comes from, a child’s name is the first gift in life. Whether it is chosen according to preference or dictated by tradition, the name reflects something about a child’s culture. For that reason, all names should be treasured and respected.
